Carrie Mae Weems: Recent Work, 1992-1998

Carrie Mae Weems brings together for the first time five of this American photographer's most accomplished and powerful groups of work: the Sea Islands Series (1991-92), the Africa Series (1993-95), From Here I Saw What Happened and I Cried (1995-96), Who What Where When (1998), and Ritual & Revolution (1998). These series, composed mainly of photography and text, highlight the themes that have dominated Weems's work over the course of her twenty-year career: identity, race, gender, class, the legacy of slavery, and the African diaspora.
